Plan your Baltimore City rental inspection
Baltimore City has its own registration and licensing process, separate from Baltimore County. Match the booking to the exact address and rental units, especially where a rowhouse has separate apartments or entrances.
Rowhouses and separate apartments
For a property in Canton, Federal Hill or Fells Point, identify each rental unit and its entrance. Tell us about basement bedrooms and arrange access to the rooms, alarms and utility areas included in the visit.
Conversions and shared areas
For a divided house in Mount Vernon or Bolton Hill, share the current unit count and explain how common halls and equipment rooms are accessed. Confirm the building’s inspection scope before booking.
One city process, across Baltimore
We serve Baltimore City, including Canton, Fells Point, Federal Hill, Mount Vernon, Bolton Hill, Hampden and Roland Park. The checklist follows the property and building type; a neighborhood name does not determine its condition.
Before the visit
- Arrange entry to each agreed unit and any required shared areas.
- Keep utilities on and equipment, windows and exit routes accessible.
- Share known concerns and any licensing correspondence.
- Confirm tenant arrangements, pets, keys and parking with the access contact.
Keep the paperwork moving
Confirm the current submission window and required documents with Baltimore City before planning your application.
A rental licensing visit does not include repairs or separate environmental testing. We document the findings independently; the licensing authority reviews the application.

Rental inspection questions in Baltimore City
Can a Baltimore County inspection form be used for my city rental?
No. Baltimore City uses its own inspection form and DHCD process. Send the exact property address and unit count so we can confirm the correct service.
Is this a full home inspection?
This visit follows the rental licensing checklist. If you also need a broader assessment for a purchase or repair plan, ask about a separate residential home inspection.
What will my inspection cost?
Rental inspections start from $160. Final pricing depends on the property type, number of units and agreed scope. Government fees, additional testing and any reinspection charges are separate. Send the address and unit count so we can confirm your quote before you book.
What happens if an item fails?
Arrange the corrections, then contact our office to confirm the follow-up inspection and fee. Some city findings require DHCD review. A passing inspection supports the application; the licensing authority issues the license.
What if the property has several rental units?
Tell us the total number of units and buildings. The city’s guidance determines the unit and common-area scope. We confirm the required work and access before booking.
Does the inspection include lead testing?
Lead testing and certification are separate services. Tell us what documentation the licensing authority has requested so we can discuss the appropriate testing scope.
Can the tenant stay home during the inspection?
Coordinate entry with the tenant or property manager in advance. Keep the required areas accessible, utilities on and pets secured. Tell us about any access limitations when arranging the visit.
